Data Privacy
Site Visitors
DementiaMap.com collects only minimal data about visitor visits to improve your website experience. We do not solicit nor share any personally identifiable information.
Resource Listing Companies
DementiaMap.com does not ask visitors for contact information when they inquire about products, services, tools, or events listed on the website. When a visitor clicks through a Resource Card and makes direct contact with a Resource company, the Resource company fully owns the data related to that contact. There is no further relationship to that referral. DementiaMap.com simply provides a platform for companies to list their offerings. The client relationship is yours.
DementiaMap.com does not use any direct or indirect referral fees or affiliate charges as requirements for being listing on the DementiaMap.com website.

When visitors leave comments on DementiaMap.com’s blog, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

DementiaMap.com has no control over third party policies.
